A limited-production Chassagne-Montrachet Premier Cru “Morgeot” expression, combining the richness of Côte de Beaune Chardonnay, limestone minerality, and long ageing potential. The small 0.41-hectare parcel allows for a precise expression of one of the most important climats of Chassagne-Montrachet.
The wine initially reveals itself with a more restrained character, gradually opening to notes of peach, yellow fruits, citrus, and white flowers. These are complemented by hints of flint, nuts, and subtle creamy nuances. On the palate, the wine shows deep texture and concentration while maintaining a vibrant acid backbone. The flavour profile combines the richness of ripe fruit, minerality, and a long, precise finish.
“Morgeot” is one of the largest Premier Cru climats of Chassagne-Montrachet. The clay and limestone soils found here provide the wine with weight and structure while preserving the characteristic minerality of the Côte de Beaune. The vineyards are managed according to organic viticulture principles, the soils are mechanically cultivated, and the grapes are harvested by hand.
The wine is made from Chardonnay grapes. It is aged for 12 months in 350-litre French oak barrels, around 15–20% of which are new, followed by a further 4–6 months resting in stainless steel tanks before bottling.
Serve at a temperature of 11–13 °C; pairs well with pan-fried sea perch with butter and lemon sauce, lobster or other shellfish, as well as chicken with a creamy mushroom sauce.
Bruno Colin continues the winemaking tradition of his family in Chassagne-Montrachet, having established his own estate in 2004 following the division of the Michel Colin family vineyards. After spending more than a decade working at the family domaine, he chose an approach focused on expressing the unique character of each Burgundian climat rather than producing wines with a uniform house style.
Today, Domaine Bruno Colin manages 8.55 hectares of vineyards across the most prestigious appellations of the Côte de Beaune, including Chassagne-Montrachet, Puligny-Montrachet, Saint-Aubin, Santenay, and Maranges. The estate's portfolio comprises 19 appellations, including eight Chassagne-Montrachet Premier Cru wines as well as the Grand Crus Bâtard-Montrachet, Chevalier-Montrachet, and Corton-Charlemagne. This diversity of vineyard holdings allows the domaine to highlight even the subtle differences between Burgundy's individual terroirs.
The vineyards are managed according to principles closely aligned with sustainable viticulture. Soils are cultivated mechanically, yields are carefully controlled, and every decision is made according to the specific conditions of each vintage. The estate's philosophy is based on the belief that wine quality is determined first and foremost in the vineyard, with particular attention given to maintaining healthy soils and expressing the character of each terroir.
The grapes are harvested by hand. White wines are fermented on their lees in 350-litre oak barrels, using around 15% new oak, before spending a further three to six months ageing in stainless steel tanks. Red wines are fermented in temperature-controlled vats and then aged for approximately 12 months in French oak barrels, around one quarter of which are new. This approach preserves fruit purity, minerality, and the distinct identity of each climat while ensuring that the influence of oak remains carefully balanced.
